Summary

Hearne Jh/High School is a small, combined junior and senior high school in Hearne, TX, serving 341 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Hearne Independent School District (Isd).

While the school faces significant challenges—ranking in the bottom 11% of Texas high schools overall—it has notable bright spots. The school excels in serving specific student groups: its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide (4 stars), and its Special Education program has shown remarkable improvement, reaching the 76th percentile (4 stars). Additionally, the school maintains a strong graduation rate of over 90% for the past three years, with a declining dropout rate. This is particularly impressive given that over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate far higher than nearby schools like Franklin High School (40%) or Milano High School (45%).

Compared to Mumford High School, a similarly small combined 7-12 school just 10 miles away, the contrast is stark. Mumford is a 5-star school in the 99th percentile, yet it spends significantly less per student ($9,118 vs. $19,583) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (11.7:1 vs. 7.6:1). Hearne’s high spending and small class sizes have not yet translated into broad academic gains, suggesting that the school’s primary challenge is addressing the non-academic barriers associated with high poverty. The school’s success will likely depend on expanding wraparound support systems to help all students thrive.
